Walk-ins.

Now most people would understand that each physical body is owned by someone. This person is attached to their body (with a non physical cord) until the body dies. If nobody was attached to the body then it would die. This is one of the reasons babies are born dead. Nobody has become "attached" to the body. Without this connection the body gets no energisation from the spirit realms. Like a car without petrol or battery. It probably won't do anything.

Generally then it is one body one spirit. Multiple people can inhabit the one physical form and this may be termed possession, obsession, mutiple personality disorder or whatever. However only one spirit is attached to the body. Until physical death of the body. There is however one exception to this rule. Walk-ins.

Walk-ins are people who have spiritual work to do in the material world but for various reasons don't need to/want to spend the time in a physical body growing up. Where a person has finished their life's lessons, and would normally die, in some instances they allow an incoming "walk-in" spirit to be connected to their physical body (that they are leaving behind) instead of them.

We still have the case of one physical body, and one spirit attached to it, but in this situation the spirit isn't the one that was with it since birth. Naturally this can then mean that the person may seem to have a (sometimes major) personality change. This is in fact one of the ways one can tell if someone is a walk-in. They will be very much more compassionate, loving, spiritual than before.

This can of course create problems for friends, and relatives. They often cannot understand what has happened. In this situation it may be better for them to understand that the person that they previously knew is, in practical terms, no longer physically alive. It is sometimes not much easier for the walk-in. He/she inherits the memories/situations of the previous occupant of the body and may take some time to understand their true status.

Walk-ins have always existed but due to the changing of the consciousness of the world at the moment a much larger number of them are incoming at the moment. The purpose of this is to help the planet move forward to a higher spiritual perspective. Instant incarnation, as an adult, is a very effective way to get a lot of people into the physical world, helping, in a very short time.

If you want to know more about walk-ins then you would do well to read the books written by Ruth Montgomery. The relevant ones are called "Strangers Among Us" and "Threshold To Tomorrow". They are currently Fawcett Crest titles being published by Ballantine Books.

What is a Walk-In ?

A spiritual exchange may take place when an individual is near death. The original spirit --- life force, keeping one's physical identity alive, has expended its energy and is about to leave while a returning spirit has chosen the identity and its mission as a means of furthering its spiritual progression. In other words, the physical identity of the person, its social position, its history of experiences and skill-building, its Basic Personality, its life mission or capability, its physical form --- represent a positive opportunity for a returning spirit.

Spirits which have left a former body, through death of that body, and, which have not yet fully earned a residence in heaven (rejoining with God) now have an opportunity for improvement towards that goal. The departing spirit has sustained the physical identity for as long as it has been hopeful and leaves in despair or resignation.

Choice is the central theme here.
It is the choice of the original spirit to leave.
That may be a signal to the Identity of the person that it has been too self-centered and its choices, against the direction of its Higher Self and the Will of God, have encumbered such negativity, failure, and disaster that its Spirit has simply given up as if to say: "I can't work with this stubborn fool." On the other hand, the incoming Spirit has taken the position that it believes that with a little help this Identity has a chance to complete its mission, and, made the choice as if to say: "I'll give it a try. I think we can do it."

There are no guarantees for a Walk-In.
It is providing an opportunity to the Identity of the person chosen which the person may not be consciously aware of or appreciative of. Even then, the negative attitudes of the conscious and unconsciousness of the individual may waste such an opportunity by maintaining their earlier direction of non-spiritual, usually materialistically oriented, striving.

Negative attitudes, built through imprinting, energy blocks, and sometimes, one's Basic Personality, can include one or more of the following:

• anger (at not getting one's wants met);

• hate (against the perceived or real opposition, rejection, or abuse of another);

• vengeance (action or intentions to act to hurt or disadvantage others who are perceived, correctly or in fantasy through projection, to have hurt or disadvantaged them);

• fear (at the expectation or assumption that a negative past will repeat itself);

• lust (co-dependent need, obsession, or compulsion concerning acceptance, power, control, freedom, security, optimism, intimacy, solitude);

• distrust (a combination of fear, toxic shame, paranoia, and anxiety);

• anxiety (a compulsion to manipulate reality to try and relate it to one's desires);

• and others.

The more obvious life threatening the transition from Present Spirit to Walk-In Spirit, the more possible it will be for the Identity to gain some conscious awareness of the reality and the opportunity. The easier the transition, the more likely that the exchange may fail in its intended benefit of mission completion.

When does a Walk-In occur?

All near death experiences do not result in Walk-In outcomes.
A person whose physical body has been too injured or allowed to deteriorate too much is not an option. Neither usually is the person who has chosen to live a spiritually degrading life regardless of gender, age, economic, political, racial, religious, or marital status an option.

In this manner, each individual is accountable for what they have intended to do of a spiritual nature, what they have tried and participated in, and, what they have actually accomplished to that end. Many people simply die at the end of a physical life with their spirits either going to a spiritual heaven (rare) or to a waiting existence (Hades) from which a new opportunity must be chosen.

The interim life state can be like living in a vacuum of aloneness, or in a state of suspended animation, if your spirit has degraded to that level, such can be an experience of hell. Other spirits-in-limbo find themselves in other dimensions or worlds which function much like a spiritual rest camp or meditatively tranquil existence --- each enabling the spirit to recharge its lifeforce energies. There is no memory or conscious recognition of these other world experiences or realities when a Walk-In spirit comes into Earth reality. The memory and experiences it will assume here will belong to the body it has rejuvenated. Only Spiritual Guidance can provide a link to such a past.

Just for the hell of it is not a valid justification for a Walk-In spirit to come to the earth. There is a tremendous risk involved in such a choice. Choose an evil identity and the spiritual strength and advancement of the Walk-In spirit will be weakened and find its progression to spiritual freedom not only delayed and frustrated but actually set back. The positive opportunity of the risk is that further progression will be enabled along the continuum towards spiritual completion or reward.

In summary, Walk-Ins occur when a weakened spirit is leaving a physical body and an available and willing spirit-in-limbo acknowledges an opportunity for it to grow stronger by rejuvenating that Identity.

Who is the Walk-In ?

A Walk-In is NOT a person.
A spirit is a lifeforce of cosmic energy without which a physical body lacks movement, interaction, experience, history, choice, errors and successes. A Walk-In is a spirit which chooses to rejuvenate an Identity which is on the point of ceasing to exist because its present spirit has decided to leave. Possible reasons for these decisions are described above.

Reappearance of a deceased personality occurring at a point of near death exposure of a current Identity may occur but is not dealt with here.

Large numbers of energy blocks, averaging 50, MAY be released when the current spirit leaves and the Walk-In spirit arrives. The release of as few as one energy block can result in what appears to be a personality change. The change is effected by the clearing of the "fogged" perception, the "twisted" attitude, and the compulsive behavior forced on the individual by the energy block. Now, more of the true Basic Personality emerges.

The personality has changed to be more of its true self and less of its imprisoned self. This may be anxiety producing and upsetting to others who have come to rely on the predictable behaviors supported by energy blocks which they could use to manipulate and deceive the person with previously. This will be less possible now.

Other capabilities, previously suppressed or misdirected may now be easily developed and strongly utilized, IF, the other aspects of the Identity are motivated to, humble enough to, and aware enough to make something of the opportunity. The realm of possibilities ranges from the insignificant to the monumental. The change is made possible by the Walk-In. The change is the choice and the responsibility of the person's consciousness, unconscious, and Basic Personality.

Where does the original soul go ?

Spirits which have not rejoined God and are not in a physical body are in a form of rest existence which the Greeks referred to as Hades, between physical and spiritual reality. They cannot progress towards the spiritual goal until they re-experience mortality and improve on their past performance.

Spirits which have fallen from grace enter an existence variously spoken of as "hell". They fall from grace if their spiritual progression has been sufficiently backwards as to take them below some threshold of universal love. That is, they have not been discriminating enough in their selection of earthly identities, or, the earthly identities they have chosen have failed spiritually too often and to too great a degree. Such a "hell" would be similar to being conscious in a colorless vacuum devoid of sound, touch, temperature, odours, pressure ... sense-less.

The potential for a fall from grace motivates a spirit to be focused in its selection and not just rush forward with only the potential benefits in consideration. It also motivates the spirit to leave a physical identity if the other aspects of that identity appear to always deny and discourage the spiritual self. Spirits are not perfect or they would be part of the Universal Spirit of God and would not be available for entry into the experience of physical life.

Spirits do not have a consciousness nor desires nor intents and feelings ... as we so often describe the aspects of the physical identity. Obviously, it is difficult to describe a spiritual reality when one must use words which only apply to a physical reality and a physical identity. Such wording used here must be considered in an abstract sense for their relevancy to be appreciated.

There are no ideal opportunities.
Some opportunities provide a better alignment than other. A spirit tries to choose the best available match between the capabilities of the physical identity and its degree of spiritual quality. Its hope is that the Ego and SuperEgo as well as the Unconscious of the Basic Personality chosen will have learned something from its near death experience, but this is a risk for such is only a possibility.

Spiritual Past Lives.

One's heritage represents one's past lives.
This is the Energy Blocks perspective that I have become aware of from the Balancing Therapy approach I have developed which uses Spiritual Guidance to determine its application and maintain both its relevancy and its accuracy. In situations where it has been possible, through personal memory or historical records, to confirm the details provided by Spiritual Guidance for the incidence of a block, the results have always been positive.

Most people are born with and carry inherited energy blocks.
Inherited energy blocks pass onto you the primary weaknesses and destructive attitudes and behavior patterns of all of your preceding generations, less those blocks which interim members have been able to release through means other than Balancing Therapy. In essence, you carry a little of many of your relatives with you. You have replicated into you the energy blocks which they formed in reaction to a traumatic experience which they could not cope more constructively with. A little bit of their lives is now part of yours, with few benefits.

Inherited energy blocks are the remnants of past lives but that is only an associated factor with the spiritual life of the past relative. All we know is that a specific form and strength of energy block was developed at a particular time. We also know that energy blocks act as an energy drain not only on the physical body but also on the spirit. We can see the devastating influence of specific kinds of energy block on current behaviors and attitudes through the patterns released when the blocks are released. We can only presume that a similar influence was encountered by our past relatives when their life experiences triggered the reactive energy block attitudes and behaviors into action and dominance.

Mirrored or Conflicting patterns of behavior are often observed in our ancestors. That is, rather than have a flexibility of relevant responses to a range of opportunities, we find the imbalance of either a repetitive routine of pattern which leads to failure or insufficiency, or, an extreme of behavior which alternates between too much in one generation to too little in the following generation. Sometimes the switch happens even within one generation.

Children and young adults react to rebel against the negative and compulsive behaviors of their parents only to adopt the behavior of their parents when they themselves become parents. We euphemise this as a conflict of generations. More specifically, it is a conflict of Ego or SuperEgo, or Basic Personality reacting against intolerant block induced behaviors in the parents --- being followed by their own block induced behaviors being associated with and triggered by a specific age or other factor. The errors and misjudgments of one's heritage are visited upon oneself until one is rid of their energy blocks.

Physical Influences and Symptoms.

The spirit of a person acts like a form of glue which unites the memory of one's experiences and the emotions associated with one's consciousness. When the present spirit leaves, the connection emotionally and spiritually with the experiences in the physical memory become dissociated. The Walk-In identity has all of the physical neurologically based memories but it does not have an intimate connection to them. It is as though the "new" personality interacts with the memories as one would who was watching a movie.

Relationships can be particularly devastated.
The Walk-In knows from the observed memory tapes that a person has been their spouse or daughter, son, or parent --- but, there is no emotional and spiritual connection. There may be a feeling of having been parachuted into someone else's life. Often, one may be seriously confused and disoriented by this sudden lack of "attachment" and may come to question their own sanity and their emotional healthfulness. It would not be unusual for an unaware Walk-In to seek solitude in order to try and sort out the reality. Others they have normally been close to with the previous spirit may now find them being aloof and indifferent and feel rejected or confused themselves. Either side can acquire feelings of guilt and risk entry into some form of dependency.

A Walk-In who is aware that the above can happen, or is made aware of same, can avoid the confusion, miscommunication, and guilt. They will know that they have a choice to either maintain the relationships they have or end some, or end all. Sometimes, past relationships have been destructive, abusive, co-dependent, and spiritually weakening. Those which have been positive can be "re-built" by the Walk-In, IF, the other person acknowledges the possibility of a Walk-In reality and agrees to go through a relationship-building process of rediscovery and trust-building as originally led to the development of the relationship. As always, it takes one to break a relationship and two to construct and maintain one.

Loss of intimate connection may be less obvious to a person who has had minimal emotional expression previously. It may also be minimized in a person who is a strong projector for having imagined the emotions from the intellect previously, it is easy to conjure up duplicates of what is expected now. The absence of the artificial is simply replaced automatically by the artificial. Nothing appears to be missing for little was there in the beginning. You cannot lose what you never had beyond your imagination.

Physical changes may also occur as a result of the dumping of a large number of energy blocks, IF, that occurs as part of the Walk-In experience. Changes I have personally observed which happened very quickly are were not accompanied by any current change in nutritional habits include the following:

• Change in eyesight prescription (usually improvement);

• Change in head hair color (darker/lighter, more gray/less gray);

• Change in texture and curliness of hair (straighter/more curly, softer-thinner/stiffer/thicker);

• Change in direction of hair growth on head (changes in optimal position of parting from one side to the other and of crown location from upper to lower);

• Changes in digestive health and emotional composure.
  

How can it not know?

There are positives and negatives to both the individual and to one's larger society connected to the experience and reality of Walk-Ins. It is often unusual for a Walk-In to know what a walk-in is and to recognize consciously that they are such a gift. This is largely because most societies do not acknowledge the existence of such realities and the few subcultures which do often misunderstand and misrepresent them for the purpose of personal prestige and pride. This also happens because a walk-in frequently enters the body of a person who may not yet have a clear spiritual perspective, and/or whose Identity Factors may still be too rooted in the physical and their own power struggle to be humble enough to accept such a development.

Walk-In spirits are often great benefits to society.
They are inherently more focused within the Mission of the person involved than the earlier spirit. They frequently enjoy the benefit of fewer energy blocks and compulsive patterning which the earlier spirit was constrained by. This is because the event of a spirit walking into an Identity MAY result in as many as 70 energy blocks being displaced by the positive nature and strength of the new spirit. Even the release of one block may change a person's life direction. Yet, there may also be no reduction at all in energy blocks while the chosen Identity enjoys a new optimism or a new form of energy added to their lifestyle.

Examples of Socially Positive Walk-Ins include:

• a slave who becomes a powerful entrepreneur;
• a murderer who becomes a symbol of justice;
• a carpenter who becomes a spiritual leader;
• a suicidal person who becomes a motivator;
• a victim of abuse who becomes a singer of hope;
• a prostitute who becomes a renown nurse;
• an abused child who becomes a model parent.

There are many more examples.
The above gives and indication of the possibilities.
Persons who have a real potential to pervade or perpetuate destructiveness against their society can become highly constructive influences within a society. The extent of these benefits may be frustrated by a fractured home or intimate life, or, by their unjustified pride in the magnitude of the change they have undergone.

A socially sabotaging influence which is sometimes heard is a Walk-In, seemingly being assertive, taking full credit for their transformation. Their suggestion is that since they have been able to totally change their lives about, doing so should be relatively easy for others who have adequate motivation. In my earlier years, and following my first several Walk-Ins, I gained distance from the negative experiences of my Past --- without any critical effort or motivation. I may have severely WANTED a change. Consciously, I held no expectation of ever being able to erase my Past as if it never happened, and, as if no one else would remember it. The transformation was sudden and immediate, not planned and gradual.

An Identity which has received a Walk-In, yet cannot acknowledge it, tends to be perceived by others as persons who cannot be trusted, or, cannot acknowledge others as individuals. Who are they to tell me what I can and cannot do! What manipulation are they trying to do by denying or being falsely humble about a great achievement. Perhaps they are correct and I SHOULD be able to intellectually adjust for past traumas. Yet, when I find that I cannot, no matter how hard I try, I am left to just hate myself for my constant weakness and cowardice ... which is neither relevant nor spiritually positive.

One can seldom acknowledge oneself as a Walk-In until one has developed a skill of accessing Spiritual Guidance accurately, and, becomes aware that there are such realities as Walk-Ins. To do so without the clear confirmation of Spiritual Guidance is more often a projection by a needy Ego or SuperEgo to play the role of a superhero, or, a martyr -- neither of which a self-acknowledging Walk-In ever seeks. Often, the public sharing of this finding is discouraged by the destructive responses of much of society. Some will expect you to perform miracles like a magician. Others, will expect you to portray perfection, like those who live much of their day in denial of reality, in self-centred meditation, and only share a few hours daily acting out a role of calmness and compassion --- a role often broken behind closed doors.

A true Walk-In always does their best at whatever they chose to be involved in, while never hiding their humanity and always trying to stay in close contact with Spiritual Guidance. They show their sometimes confusion, frustration, and anger -- yet choose to work these through to the best constructive resolution, avoiding victimization, denial, and intensity. This is often frustrating for others who are non-assertive, energy blocked, destructively imprinted, numbed out, or abusive. Former relationships are likely to end, or be ended. New relationships may be begun with persons previously avoided. Careers and employers may be changed abruptly. Whatever is left behind was not, in reality, working effectively. There is a real potential for improvement. It may take some effort and time to materialize.
